The Campaign For DA

6.26.2017

This morning, the WBAP boys (Hal Jay, Brian Estridge and Steve Lamb) spent a whole segment snarkily laughing at California's public "travel ban" of Texas because of the Bathroom Bill. Uh, guys, it's not because of the Bathroom Bill.

We're full time out at Lake Bridgeport now, basically my "residence", and you sure see a lot of odd things. One of my favorites is a "Monster Boat" which appears sometimes around midnight with six to eight massive floodlights. The guys in it are bow fishing.

Pete Delkus was being mean to a Twitter follower, and someone came to intervene. Here's what happened:

This is how it started

Michael to the rescue. (Delkus then blocked him.)

I saw the first episode of The Keepers. I'm hooked. A very Making of a Murderer feel to it.

What's going on with that 14 year old Bedford girl found dead in an Arlington landfill? The Chief of Police said on Friday: "“Our information ... does not indicate a further risk to our community.” Huh? This may not have been an abduction at all.

I don't know why I follow WFAA's Todd Unger on Twitter, but it didn't take long to realize he's a little Rush Limbaugh. Man, he has some hot conservative opinions.

Another lake observation from Saturday: Two guys in a $40,000 bass boat (250 horsepower) showed up on the shore right below me (fishing in the rain during a tournament), and then one of them caught one of the biggest basses I've seen. He then measured it and threw it back.

The Koch Brothers held a three day conservative summit retreat at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado over the weekend: Those in attendance included: Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz, and John Cornyn. Do their campaign funds pay for that trip? Any taxpayer dollars?

How the press just accepts cameras being banned from the White House daily briefings is amazing.

Oh, my:

A World War II vet who survived Pearl Harbor had his ashes returned to the U.S.S. Arizona. If you want to see a moving video, watch his family members hand those ashes to a diver above the sunken ship.

The Houston Police Department now has a "Rainbow Cruiser".

There's a death notice in the Update of a young man who has the same name as a guy who spent 70 months in federal prison for buying too much pseudoephedrine at CVS. What a screwed up War on Drugs we have. (And, yes, I know the purpose of the law.)

"Every right winger wants the subject to die" - A massive overstatement and mischaracterization. It's like having a friend who sells insurance. Every conversation with him turns to insurance, and you'd like that to stop so you can have normal conversations. It doesn't mean you're against insurance. What's tiresome is the constant drumbeat in the Democrat-fueled media stories that -- without any evidence -- try to tie Trump to the Russian meddling.

If Russian interference was substantial enough to warrant action, then action should have been taken. Explanations for Obama's inaction ring hollow; he -- and the federal agencies of his administration -- took sides in the election anyway. A more believable reason that he did nothing is because he thought Hillary would win.

Trump claims that any assertion that there was Russian interference in our election is a hoax. He also claims that Obama didn't do anything about the Russian interference. Trump wants to know why didn’t Obama prevent this thing that never actually happened.

944 - Don't be a nitwit. My observations in this regard are not about defending Trump. I'm ridiculing the lunatic left and their attacks, which are based on nothing more than stupidity and bitterness. There are plenty of legitimate things to criticize Trump for, but the poor unfortunate souls on the left (this includes the media) have lost all ability to reason.

Wordkyle you and others keep saying there is no evidence to tie Trump to Russian meddling. But that is not true. Here is what evidence there is on the surface. Flynn, Sessions, Manafort and Kushner all had meetings with Russians that they lied about under oath or omitted (some on security paperwork). That warrants further investigation. If you think that is "Deep State" or liberal media you must admit that Trump's team brought it on themselves. Maybe if they had the capacity to be truthful this would be long gone and forgotten.

Analogy - There is a hit. The hit man had conversations with mobsters just prior to the hit. Mobsters are asked if they had conversations with the hit man. They all lie about it. We discover that they lied and that some of them had financial ties to the mobster. Don't you think we should investigate the mobsters for a connection/conspiracy to commit murder? Maybe we should investigate the mob boss for involvement?

Before you complain about what liberals whine about and throw out some "Clinton is worse" subterfuge I would like to point out that I am a life long Republican and conservative. I didn't vote for Clinton but I also didn't vote for Trump. I didn't vote for Trump because he is not a conservative nor a Republican. He is a snake oil selling lying turd. Trump is for Trump. I am for America.

For someone that worries about Abbott spending tax payers dollars for trips, Skippy never said a peep about Michelle Obammies vacations and taking a seperate plane when travelling to the same place as Obammy. Those millions wasted didn't bother you Skippy?

It is truly a world gone mad when Republicans can ignore the several connections between Trump surrogates and Russians, many of which were not disclosed, and somehow not get pissed off. Republicans are supposed to hate Russia, am I right? They're still the great evil, no? And so when so many of them have undisclosed contacts, including confirmation of trying to open back-channel unsupervised communications, when Trump individually has monetary ties to Russia, why in the world are Republicans rushing to their defense?

I wonder about the 14 year old's death too...thinking the authorities may know who the killer is; and, they are waiting to ponce when they have their ducks in a row...I also think it could be a close relative or person she knows. Being left in the trash dump to be found soon means it was someone who cared for her..could have been an accident.

Barry, thanks for finally sharing a RTG who is celibate, avoids alcohol, and attends her church regularly. And her dad is probably a preacher. And she was probably at the pool to teach swimming to poor children.

what an insult to sheriffs. Phase 1 of dictatorship: call anything negative said against the leader's actions or words fake news, get this minions to believe it, then block out the real press, then make your news the only news.Icing on the cake: give news and oval office photo opps to Russians but ban the US press from attending so we can openly share dictator type stuff without all the hoopla from fake news talking about how wrong it is.

So we have members of Trump's campaign, many of whom are businessmen who have done business with Russia pre-campaign, who have had "contact" with Russians. Here's what the NY Times had to say about that:

"...it is not unusual for American businessmen to come in contact with foreign intelligence officials, sometimes unwittingly, in countries like Russia and Ukraine, where the spy services are deeply embedded in society."

And significantly, "Law enforcement officials did not say to what extent the contacts might have been about business."

Alternatively, James Comey said directly in testimony that another NY Times article alleging collusion was not true.

"RISCH: So, the American people can understand this, that report by the New York Times [alleging Trump-Russia collusion] was not true. Is that a fair statement?

COMEY: In the main, it was not true. And again, all of you know this. Maybe the American people don't."

There's more -- Diane Feinstein, Jeh Johnson, and Chris Matthews (all devout Democrat partisans) have publicly recognized that there's no evidence of collusion. But what's the point? The madmen on the left have created their false reality and refuse to recognize contradictory evidence.

10:29 and 10:30 apparently see other human beings and immediately picture that person having sex.

Maybe there are a lot of people who do that, but it seems weird and sort of distrurbing to me, especially when such fantasies (and let's face it, if you are looking at others and immediately picturing them having sex, you're having sexual - including homosexual - fantasies) are used as the means of determining what rights they deserve.
